This afternoon, I have paid in full for my (our LOL) Series 1, it is still in my mates garage where it will reside until I can make some room and add a carport extension to keep the rain off it.
I have bought home quite a collection of small bits and the 2 front guards, I was that dirty with dust that has accumulated on some of the bits the good wife wouldn't let me in the back door anyway I agreed to strip off and change clothes.
I washed the dust off the 2 guards

all panels will require a total strip down to bare metal, as my mate didn't quite get the thing about surface preparation prior to applying primer/paint etc, so I guess I will be doing quite a bit of stripping paint that is.
The back of the 110 still has most of the items picked up today, I will need to allocate an area just for S1 bits as it's been a long time between drinks and owning my last S1 (1975)

meanwhile after moving some of the gear off the vehicle, you can see a little more of it

tomorrow I will have to make a start on working out an area for the carport extension, and hope the rain goes away anyway cheers Dennis

G'day Dennis,
a great vehicle and looking forward to your rebuild.
By the way, have you measured the wheelbase?
Cookey
Looking good, is there a background to this vehicle?
Well Cookey, it was like this all probably contributed to that mistake, I tried to alter it from 88 to 86 but had no luck, ??? Maybe a Moderator can change it for me ??
Minikeg, AFAIK it is just a civvie Land Rover that was well used n abused and left to see out it's days dying of the "Tin Worm", my mate spotted it when I picked up Series 3 swb, to quickly tidy up and move on, that was about 10 years ago, my mate has asked me that when it is ready to fire up, he want's to be here to see it move for the first time under it's own power, methinks the water pump might need to be redone before that will happen as the system has been left dry, everything else has oil etc and has been turned over by hand to keep it free.
I have 3 carburettors and I'm hoping that at least one of them can be rebuilt, a local fellow John G Series 1 enthusiast (Maitland area) supposedly has the electric fuel pump, but he seems to have dropped off the radar for the last 4 years, another person has the steering wheel which has been refurbished ?? Only needs to be paid for, but I will get my mate to chase that up, but first things first, cheers Dennis
PS. Can anyone confirm for me this ??? notion I have had in my head since my days of owning Mini's re electric fuel pumps. The Series 1 Land Rover has an SU electric pump up on the firewall, the Morris Mini etc had there pump mounted under the rear of the vehicle, ??? Is there any difference between the two pumps, I always had it in my head about pull push or the other way around, or was I told a load of B/S back then and never got that out of my head, and having very little experience with them I'm at a loss, cheers,,.
Noice Dennis. Let me know if you need any little bits, as I have a few things somewhere in my shed/sheds

Thank you to who ever changed the heading from 88 to 86, I promise not to have too much Port before writing on the forum cheers Dennis
ps Thanks Perry, dunno what little items I might need as yet, the only thing wrong with this job is I didn't take it apart cheers Dennis
Looking forward to the usual excellent standard of resto's you do on all your vehicles Dennis.
I recieved a ph/call from my mate (the P.O) he had located all the books he had re Series 1, one of the books I gave him years ago, 'Instruction Manual' in 4 different languages
http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/u...psad3e55e5.jpg
in some of the pages through the books I found reciepts for work carried out, totalling almost $1,000 just on electrical items .
Something I was happy about though, was looking through the parts book, I noticed that part No17 & 18 on this page are Std parts, I was thinking they could have been a bodge job long ago
http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps1a36a624.jpg
but NO tiz a std part, well I haven't owned a Series 1 since around 1976 or so, and I do have dementia LOL, anyway Thank You for all the good wishes etc only time will tell, now how to get rid of the rain, and keep the good wife away from the TV, as this afternoon she has demolished another bedroom in her quest for 'The Block' or something LOL cheers Dennis
